Perodua Alza MPV: Perodua Alza News

KUALA LUMPUR: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) is confident its newly launched Perodua Alza will be the top-selling multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in 2010.
Managing director Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said Perodua was targeting to sell between 3,500 and 4,000 units of the model per month, adding that it had already received 3,500 bookings for the Alza since Nov 13.KUALA LUMPUR: Perusahaan Otomobil Kedua Sdn Bhd (Perodua) is confident its newly launched Perodua Alza will be the top-selling multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) in 2010.

Managing director Datuk Syed Abdull Hafiz Syed Abu Bakar said Perodua was targeting to sell between 3,500 and 4,000 units of the model per month, adding that it had already received 3,500 bookings for the Alza since Nov 13.
“Based on our target of 4,000 units a month, it should be the highest (selling MPV),” he told a press conference before the launch of Alza yesterday.
Hafiz said he expected the local MPV segment to grow to 30% of total industry volume in 2010 compared with 10%–11% currently.
He said the Alza was targeted at young families and urban singles, adding that the bulk of the pre-launch orders were for the automatic variants.
The Alza is available in standard, premium and advanced variants. All variants are available in both manual and automatic transmissions.
With a starting price of RM56,000, the Alza (which means “to rise” in Spanish) is the cheapest MPV in the market. The vehicle maker will in March launch the advanced variants, priced at between RM67,000 and RM70,000.
Asked about the potential impact of Proton Holdings Bhd’s newly launched Exora Basic variant, which has a starting price of RM57,548, Hafiz said: “I don’t think it would affect us significantly.”
“We did a survey and found that 30% of the respondents would purchase an MPV if it was affordable,” Hafiz said.
As of October 2009, Perodua had sold 138,000 vehicles compared with 142,000 units a year earlier. It currently commands a 31.1% market share of TIV.
Hafiz said the Alza would boost its market share to 31.5% of an estimated TIV of 520,000 units by the year-end. Perodua expected its market share to reach 33.3% next year when the TIV was projected to hit 530,000, he added.
Currently, Myvi and Viva account for 55% and 41% respectively of Perodua’s sales. Hafiz said the vehicle maker was on track to achieving RM7bil sales this year.
For 2010, Hafiz said the Alza would contribute 28% to total sales, with Myvi and Viva contributing 40% and 32% respectively.

Perodua Alza 1.5L Manual Test Review

The Perodua Alza is surely one of the most anticipated cars of recent times. In fact, this blog has been spreading the news of the Perodua MPV since early 2008, and we’ve been teased by numerous spy shots and revelations ever since. Well, it’s finally here now and we’ve got a chance to drive it over a weekend, covering 385km over a variety of roads.

The Best Days to Buy a Car This Month

Your wallet may already be reeling from holiday spending, but it’s worth your while to consider adding a purchase with a five-figure price tag to your list. Why? Because December is the cheapest time to buy a new car. In fact, if you’re looking for a bargain, six of the 10 best days to buy all year are between December 14 and the end of the year.

Buy in December

That’s the conclusion the car pricing experts at TrueCar reached when they crunched data from the last three years of pricing trends. “The average discount in December is around 6.5 percent off MSRP, compared to 4.5 percent in a typical month,” says Jesse Toprak, TrueCar vice president of Trends and Insights.

There is an old rule of thumb in the auto industry, Toprak explains, that says “the end of the week, the end of the month, and the end of the year” are the best times to buy. “Statistically speaking,” he tells us, “that actually turns out to be the case.”

Why would prices dip at the end of the year? Like so many things in the car shopping process, the phenomenon is psychological – but it has real impact on the financial health of car dealerships and shoppers.

The calendar hits 2010 next month. But for automakers, it’s been 2010 since mid-summer. Some of the earliest model year 2010 cars were rolling off of factory lines by July, and by now, dealerships are filled with cars with next year’s date on the window sticker.

But they also have plenty of 2009 cars left to sell -- more than in a typical year, in fact. That’s because automakers overbuilt, underestimating the impact of the recession on American buying habits. On Jan. 1, 2010, the value of those 2009 cars will drop because they will seem out of date. Dealerships want to get rid of them before that drop comes.

In reality, the differences between model years can be subtle. The 2010 Ford Fusion is a dramatically better car than the 2009 version, since Ford significantly modified its midsize sedan between model years. The 2010 Honda Accord LX, however, is virtually identical to the 2009. Honda lightened the color of the ventilation switches. That’s it. That’s the full list of changes. Yet, come January 1, the 2009 Accord will be worth thousands less than its 2010 counterpart -- so dealers are willing to negotiate this month to push the 2009s out the door.

There are a handful of exceptions to Toprak’s guidelines. Prices of some vehicles vary seasonally. Convertibles, for instance, are typically cheapest in colder months. All-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive vehicle prices dip a little in the summertime. “But even with trucks,” he says, “buying an expiring model-year vehicle in December may be cheaper than buying the same truck in the summer,” when dealers don’t feel the pressure of January 1 looming.

Buy at the End of the Month

No matter what month you do your car shopping, Toprak says, you can still save money by timing your purchase carefully. Plan to buy, he says, late in the month. Dealerships are most willing to accept a lowball offer as the start of a new month rolls around.

“There is something called an Objective Bonus,” he explains, “that few shoppers seem to know about.” It’s a simple concept. Automakers set targets for their dealerships each month – “if they sell a certain number of units by the end of the month, they get a bonus from the automaker.” If you time your purchase for the last few days before the calendar switches over, you might find yourself negotiating with a dealer who knows he needs to sell just a few more cars to qualify for a big check from the home office – so he’s willing to take less from you in order to get one sale closer to his quota.

Buy on Saturday

The day of the week you go shopping can change the amount you’ll pay as well. In most weeks, TrueCar’s analysis shows, the biggest discounts tend to fall on Saturdays.

Car dealers are acutely aware of all the competition they face from other brands and even other dealerships selling the same brand. They know that when shoppers leave the house intending to make a purchase, they generally do.

“I ran dealerships for a few years,” Toprak says, before launching his career as an analyst. “The thinking at dealerships,” he explains, “Is that if you don’t give customers enough of a discount to close the deal on Saturday, they will go down the road somewhere else. They’re shopping on Saturday, and they intend to buy that day.”

Buy on a Holiday

Finally, TrueCar’s data shows you should consider car shopping when your neighbors are wrapping presents, or getting things ready for their party. Two of the least expensive days of the year are Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve, when the average discount tops 7 percent off MSRP. 

Maybe those commercials that propose giving a car as a Christmas gift aren’t completely crazy after all.

ALZA - local MPV given breath more fresh, stylish and economic.

AFTER a long time waiting, finally fulfill their promise when Kia launched multi-purpose vehicle model (MPV) first, Alza in the capital, yesterday.

Seven-seat model is indeed anticipated loyal fans who previously claimed Perodua MPV model is the 'birth' the Daihatsu Boon Luminas popular in Japan.

However, Alza distinct characteristics and meet the local MPV given breath more fresh, stylish and economic.

In fact, the road offered starting price around RM56, 000 to RM65, 000 is able to attract single people and families to have a small Kia Alza.

External features such as the latest front projector lamp, LED taillight and turn signals on side mirrors prove Perodua satisfy customers.

In addition, the aerodynamic design makes a Alza machinery worth owned.

Alza supplied coded 3SZ-VE engine 1.495 cc DOHC 16-valve with DVVT.

Engine involved the same model as used in Toyota Vios and Avanza, but Alza use than front-drive Avanza which uses rear-wheel drive.

Throughout 4.205 mm, 1.695 mm wide and 1.620 mm high, Alza can accommodate seven passengers with a comfortable medium-sized.

In fact, given a new lease of inner space when the second seat can be pulled up to the front passenger seat for easier third-row entry and exit.

In addition, the EZ model, connected between the front seats drivers and front seat passengers, thus giving the true picture of a MPV for the family.

Simple and attractive dashboard button while in the presence of automatic gear steering facilitate driver.

Alza audio system comes equipped with Bluetooth technology players and other USB audio controls on steering.

Bank offers an added bonus with car loans

WITH the launch of the Perodua Alza recently, EON Bank decided to give away free Smart Tag packages when customers buy the new multi-purpose vehicle with its AM/PM car loan.

Perodua Alza - One Moment Car, MPV The Next...

Be the first of Perodua MPV, Alza can continued success model Myvi and Viva?

Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to make coverage of Japan Tokyo Auto Salon 2009. For a country which has the world's largest automotive industry, car manufacturers from various segments, the new model entering the market almost every week, Japan has a unique automotive landscape.
I believe, if you're just normal people, it is impossible to know each model is available in Japan. K-Car models from the many kinds of bicycles, MPV like Yamaha LC with various variants.
Exhibitions Tokyo Auto Salon is also a focus tuner (tuner) to perform aftermarket products will enter the market. I will not be talked about in the aftermarket industry there, I just interested in one corner of the site there are several models exhibition Passo Sette talaan special, Modellista and Admiration.
Perodua MPV
At that time also, Malaysia is warm with rumors that Perodua MPV will introduce in 2009. In jujurnya, I do not anticipate that direct Perodua will take Passo Sette / Boon Luminas as the basis for logic, Daihatsu Luxio is the most suitable candidate.
Daihatsu Luxio is a successful project outside Japan, just like Gran Max is very popular in Indonesia. It is famous as the Toyota Lite Ace. Vanmini that only smaller. However, to see if poliferasi Toyota-Daihatsu and strategies in Asia and Malaysia in particular, the model is the most Luxio almost ended. Just look at segmentation Mini and midi controlled MPV Avanza and Innova. No Estima, Ipsum Isis or even.

ENGINE 1.5 liter is also quite save.
When rumors about Perodua MPV D46T blows blustery, Spyshot pictures to be seen on the website, I again find the hard disk image was recorded. Yes. It witnessed the same car earlier this year. Passo Sette and Boon Luminas already in the article I wrote two months ago. Perodua officially launched Alza, model MPV 'local' second Proton Exora.
It sold at a price starting RM56, 000 to RM64, 000 for standard and premium variants. Same with this strategy before, Perodua also offer variants on the advance price of RM67, 000 to RM70, 000. It is a version with full body package, GPS navigation system with reverse camera, leather seats and tinted.
Too many options
Kia is looking for smart opportunities. Now he works in the passenger vehicle market through only two models, Myvi and Viva. May be strange, but that is about ajaibnya Perodua, they succeeded in filling vacancies with only two models that dominate the list of sales each month.
If you continue to take into account competition with Proton Perodua, Myvi and Viva sales each month is always ahead of sales figures combined model Saga, Persona, Exora, Waja and Satria Neo.

Gear lever is placed in the center console makes the
dashboard Alza see updates.
Too many options to users is also not good. Perodua learn about the market carefully. If the ability to measure, they can introduce two or three models each year. But in reality, many types of cars in one segment, not good for a limited number of buyers.
Just look at Proton, they have models that compete with each other mutually. Market strategy is confusing, but they sometimes conflict with the plan requirements of the market.
They have to Saga and Savvy small car buyers. Model Persona, Gen2 and Waja sedan car to the buyer. Proton-segmentation is tunggang langgang. At one point, they introduced the Waja car makers as they prove that is free. Then, Gen2 and comes not long after that Persona.
When sales fell Gen2, Gen2 modify them as sporty models. Did the market sporty Satria Neo? Then Savvy with designs that I believe many Malaysians can not accept such extreme designs.

Storage space for all goods.
More surprising, they once again teamed up with Renault. While Tiara already proven performance. Not long after, Saga launched. Although it bak selling hot cakes, so I believe to this day, not even Savvy investments pay off.
Market often depends on demand. In this case I have to admit that Perodua always successfully find the best formula. Alza said to meet the current market was buyers who want a small MPV. It can be MPV or a car (station wagon it seems more appropriate).
Depth study
They have made only a small number of studies that only use the third row seat in the MPV. Requirements of the market also wanted a sporty MPV that they could have.
Affordable? It may Avanza, sporty? Certainly Alza. Power? No MPV authorities in this class, both Avanza, Exora or Grand Livina. If you want power, buy only Swift Sport, MPV is not intended to be a champion in the light signal.

Driver seat height can be adjusted.
Studies done by serious market. Perodua really lucky because Toyota has earned extensive experience in recognizing market. Studies conducted in Malaysia, Malaysia's clear that family profiles have been changed since a decade ago. Average number of family members reduced from six to four.
In fact, the MPV was seen not only should have wide space, they were more concerned about factors sporty, fuel savings and an affordable price. In short, they wanted something like Toyota Wish and Honda Stream at affordable prices.
Alza fulfill tastes
Perodua was targeting sales of 3.500 to 4,000 units per month Alza. They are also optimistic that the MPV market will grow reaching 30 percent next year.
These figures may seem unrealistic. But history has proven that when the early introduction of Avanza, TIV (Total Industry Volume) for the MPV had reached 21 percent. Figures is linked to internal research they had done. If Avanza built based on truck chassis (ladder frame) is selling, Alza monocoque body certainly will do better.
SPACE cabin is comfortable enough to bring the whole family.
When introduced Myvi also many who do not mempedulikannya, until they dominate the market almost every month from the first day it launched. I never predict the model on the market will explode. Essentially then, if people can buy the Hyundai Getz, Chevrolet Aveo and Suzuki Swift Myvi certainly has many advantages in terms of price. It is cheaper, something difficult to ignore you.
If your regular review on the website and blog local automotive, cars such as Viva received various criticisms and accusations. But the fact that can not be changed, the car number two larisnya in Malaysia.
It is a package car driving city needed by young people who start new work, housewives and college students. The reality, accurate market segmentation, price reasonable for the status of local cars.
Perodua believed binaannya quality. Perodua cars rarely pose problems to the owner. Tools lieu thereof cheap and easily available, the technology base.
Although the offensive operation, but how many buyers the story? Buyer pentingkan something worth to be paid. They do not even know about the story of a high safety rating, or operating too good. What is more important, and economical car that has a high value sales back.
Alza meet the tastes of small families and young people who want stylish. Not my words, but it is based on data from market research.
Alza did not really fit called MPV. Perodua himself realized that fact by placing the tagline 'One Moment Car, MPV The Next'. Vehicles that are in transition between a car, station wagon to the MPV.

If you expect seven adults with luggage and comfort, Alza not the right choice. But if you want a car that can carry hardware from Ikea, bring a friend or family relax at the weekend, Alza best possible candidate.

The All-New Perodua MPV

The long awaited Perodua MPV is finally here!

I didn’t get to go as I was not feeling well for the launching.
Must be the “landas” season, been feeling a bit under the weather of late …..

A friend Solomon, from our local Perodua Dealer; Erazoom of Jalan Satok did ask our people to attend the launching yesterday. (23rd of Nov)

Well, we finally went to one of Perodua’s showroom located at Jalan Tun Abg. Openg.
It was a rather wet afternoon, so I didn’t want to try and drive the test unit which is readily made available to anyone who requested it.

The prices given us ranging from RM57,000 – RM72,000..

I didn’t ask how long the “queue” is if you were to place a Booking Fee today?

Compare to Proton’s Exora, this should give them a run for their money because Perodua’s is cheaper though comparatively, smaller in size!

The “ALZA” the chosen name, is running on a 1.5cc DVVT, DOHC 16 valve (4 valves per cylinder) engine with EFI (electronic fuel injection)

It has a 3yr or the 100,000km Manufacturer’s Warranty,whichever comes first!

This time, Perodua only added 1 “new color” that is Classy Purple.

The fuel capacity is only 42 litres, equivalent to today’s gas price if you opt for our RON 95, RM75.60 only!

By the way, ALZA is a Spanish word, I was taken aback why the Management agreed to the name, or is that solely for business reasons?

But then again, why Kelisa, Kancil? I would prefer it “christened” a Malaysian instead of “dan lain-lain?” What say you?

Perodua Alza finally launched: a car or an MPV?

Here it is – the new Perodua Alza! We’ve been following the development of this MPV ever since we first got news of its existence back in early 2008, where it was reported that Toyota and Daihatsu were going to build a new MPV and produce it in Indonesia. When the Daihatsu Luxio MPV came out we all got a shock – that more of a van so we waited patiently until Christmas last year when the Toyota Passo Sette was finally unveiled in Japan. Nearly a year later, the Perodua-badged model with a new front, rear and interior is here. Read the full details after the jump
